Ahhhhhh. Firstly, I forgot to bring yeye's birthday card with me today. We celebrated yesterday and I told him, to be more exact, I'd pass it to him today. It's probably because I stayed up till 2am. I woke up, packed the card nicely on my desk and just left it there. Now it means I can only pass it to him on Thursday when my grandparents drive their weekly homecooked dinner special to my house.

Secondly, I don't like frogs. I mean eating them. Last night during dinner, they ordered some frog leg dish and everyone tried to trick me by saying it was chicken. But then mom accidentally said, "it's just like chicken!" and that blew up their whole plan. My uncle vowed to make me try some herbal frog thing. Well, at least I was safe for a while.

However, I didn't manage to escape from frogs today. We (excluding Jean this time) went to D'Kranji Farm Resort at Lim Chu Kang for the Andrew Fellowship (adults, but inclusive of their kids) outing. Nai nai and yeye also went, maybe because they wanted to have fun too. We went on the packaged tour that took us to the Aeroponics farm and the frog farm, as well as educational activites around the resort. I got to see the Green and Blue Revolution in action, which helped me understand the relevance of Food Geography.

The Jurong Frog Farm is where I touched a frog for the first time last year during sec 3 camp. I remember my group had to pass a slimy frog a whole round and it was quite an interesting obstacle. I touched a frog again today. Anyway, back to the point, we were in a room that sold frog related products. My uncle suddenly decided to buy some "Snow Jelly Herbal Soup". He went out and started trying it. Soon after, Jensen came to me and started dragging me out and saying that my uncle wanted me to try it. I eventually met face to face with the dead frog.

My uncle scooped up some jelly-like substance with his spoon and passed it to me. "Cheng teng!" I tried to protest but it didn't look anything like the frog I usually saw. I wasn't left with much of a choice, so I made a short, improvised parting speech and emptied the spoon into my unsuspecting mouth. I swirled it around my mouth a bit and then swallowed it. Something was telling me it must have been a frog, but it tasted weirdly unfrog-like. After my uncle was sure I swallowed everything, he revealed that it was actually frog fallopian tubes. Ew ew ew. I suddenly recalled some bits of what I learnt in sec 2 bio. Ahhh. My uncle and Jensen were just laughing at my froggy encounter.

It's been an interesting long weekend. Sadly, there's school again tomorrow. I appreciate school, but I'm not looking forward to getting back papers and the fact the O levels are getting closer.
